Shearman & Sterling Senior Negotiations Competition

Senior Negotiations

Negotiations is one of the most enjoyable competitions that we offer. Working together as a team of two, you will negotiate your way through employment contracts, business mergers and other advisory scenarios, in an effort to ascertain the best deal for your client. No doubt it is demanding, but it is equally rewarding. Developing skills that are required by employers, battling against your friends in a fluid environment and having a great time are only three of many reasons why you should get involved.
